When I was in my early teens (Early '60's) one day I was driving dad from one field to another and as we passed one of the farms he'd worked since he was a boy he said he wanted to be cremated and spread on the farm he'd loved so long.
Years later as he was declining from Alzheimer's I remember that day and discussed it with my siblings and they all understood. When he passed we mixed his ashes with mom's and spread them on their favorite part of that farm.
My late wife loved the sunshine (hence my nickname for her) and was afraid of small dark places so cremation was a simple issue after she saw how it worked for my parents. Per her wishes she was cremated and we had a gathering of friends for a pot-luck meal and story telling before spreading her ashes in the meadow where her horses were buried. I assume my sons will take my ashes back to Texas and spread them on the wind there.
I plan to be cremated also,my grandson will spread my ashes in the woods were we hunted. I am not rushing it but I made my urn,wife thinks it`s creepy. I wanted some thing different, I took this from a tree to the finished urn took a year and a half for the wood to dry and about a week to build.

Read an article that said Disney Land was dumbing place for human ashes! Gary, any truth to this?!
Jim Deere, so you want to buried next to Agustus McCrae?
What about being cremated with a fistful of shotgun shells? Go out with a bang!
